What to give my BGF?

I really like my BGF and he likes me too. We aren't dating but we might soon. With Christmas coming up, I was wondering what to get him, if anything?

Finding the perfect Christmas gift is always tricky, but in this case, small and sweet is the perf way to go. Sometimes it’s hard to find the right gift in stores, so why not make something?

Don’t be afraid to let your creativity shine. Since he’s your BGF, you two must have loads of cute inside jokes. You can start by making him a personalized card. Construction paper and markers aren’t just for kids, you know! Fill your card with memories and fun times you’ve shared, and you can even glue in pictures or notes or mementos from activities you’ve done together.

Turn your card into a small-scale scrapbook if you want, but remember to keep it fun. A “novel card” (a card that has so many pages it looks more like a book) is sweet, but ya don’t want to go too overboard in case he doesn’t reciprocate. You wouldn’t want him to feel bad if you got him something big and he ends up getting you something small or nothing at all.

If you’re proud of your personalized “scrapbook card,” there’s no reason to feel like you have to buy him something on top of that, but if the card idea isn’t working out or you’re not too artistic, then buy him something funny or low-key.

Look around dollar stores, Target or even grocery stores, and see what reminds you of him. If you see something that you think will make him laugh or smile, get it. Give him the collection of little items in a Christmas stocking and attach your sweet, heart-felt note letting him know what a great friend he’s been and how happy you are to share your Christmas with him.
